I said hey, what's going on?
Haven't posted in a while, but with fairly good reason. Not much really going on. I'm slowly but surely getting to the point where I'm not living week to week on my paychecks. Granted I am living week to week, but I actually have a little bit of breathing room in between them where I'm not falling back on my emergency ramen supply. Who knows, maybe there will come a day when I can upgrade to an emergency supply that isn't ramen.
Hung out with Sean, Jason, Tim and Shing last week. I went up to LA to do some focus group stuff for Sean and we went out to dinner after. Good times. I miss hanging out with the Dude Ranch crew.
Went out with Long Beach crew yesterday to celebrate Kevin's b-day. We were supposed to go to the movies, but in typical LBC fashion, we were late. We ended up wandering around the Towne Center, then going to Alex's Bar for 80s Metal Karaoke. It was...interesting. I was there for the booze.
Been working a lot. Usual stuff at Jody's, but I've been taking a lot more shifts at Portfolio. I worked all weekend this week, and it seems like the Sunday morning sandwich person is looking to have me cover most, if not all of her shifts for the coming month or two. I don't plan on taking them (7 to noon Sunday morning is not my idea of reasonable hours), but I'll probably do a couple just to bolster the coffers.
Passover was...passover. Kept kosher; had my kosher dinner; had my anti-kosher dinner. Nothing all that exciting, though I was definitely glad to see all the people who were able to come out for the kosher dinner last Saturday.
I found out that my dad and immediate family are planning on coming out to California in August. This is great, since I know I won't be able to afford to go Back East this year. This is also great, since I don't have to worry about futilely trying to save up to go Back East this year. That means that I can actually put the money I would've saved into the possibility of taking a vacation to Seattle. I'm torn on how I want to do it, though. Should I put a lot away and try to road trip it? Or should I just save a decent amount and fly up? Or maybe I'll look into taking a train? I've never taken a long distance train. Does Amtrak go up that far?
